France: ISIS Claims Responsibility for Killing 2 Outside Paris

HeadlineJun 14, 2016

In France, ISIS has claimed responsibility for the fatal stabbing of a French police commander outside Paris. The attacker, identified as Larossi Abballa, then held the commander’s partner and the couple’s three-year-old son hostage, eventually killing the partner, who worked as an administrative police official. Police stormed the house and killed the attacker. French President François Hollande called the killing “incontestably a terrorist act.”
